Ingredients

2 large heads garlic 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice 1/3 off the top of the garlic heads, brush with oil and place the sliced top back on. Place each head in a ramekin and cover with aluminum foil. 2. Bake for about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the garlic pulp if using in a recipe.

Use the garlic pulp in Nick Stellino's garlic mashed potatoes (see link) or serve the whole roasted heads with crusty bread as a rustic appetizer.
